A new binary star system with two orbiting planets has been discovered by the Kepler space telescope.

This real life binary however also involves two planets, Kepler-47b, which completes its orbit around the two stars in 49 days, and an outer planet Kepler-47c, which finishes its orbit in 303 days. The latter planet is in the habitable zone, meaning it could have liquid water, but remains gaseous and not suitable for life (unless you count C-3P0).

Now, all we need is a video reaction from a blessed-out Star Wars fan …”double binary … all the way!”
